Thanks for the tip. Didn't quite get it to work, here is what I found...

Booted from the 16.04 USB flash drive, chose to run Linux rather than
install it.

sudo ln -sf /proc/self/mounts
Failed "ln: failed to create symlink 'etc/mtab': No such file or directory"

mkdir etc

sudo ln -sf /proc/self/mounts etc/mtab
"ln: failed to create symbolic link 'etc/mtab': Operation not permitted.

PS. Forgot to mention before - did the install twice. First install worked.
Second install had some kind of corruption on-screen during installation -
some kind of horizontal garbage lines but the install messages appeared OK
on top of that..

BW,


Ian
